Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

The questions asked indicate that the sailors were afraid of Jonah even before he confessed his worship of the LORD (v 9). The lot had already confirmed that he was responsible, but instead of acting on that they gave him the option of blaming someone else. The other questions are typical of what one would ask any stranger.
